Tim Cook Marched With LGBT Apple Employees To Support Pride In San Francisco

Source: Yahoo News

It's not uncommon for tech CEOs to support their employees during San Francisco's annual Pride Celebration and Parade. Last year, Mark Zuckerberg was at the event.

The event was this weekend. Uber supported the LGBT community by running a promotion that made it easy to get married. Apple CEO Tim Cook was also seen sporting a Pride shirt with his employees. Here's a photo of Cook from the event (below), posted on Twitter by Apple employee Mark Bober.

Tim Cook has never spoken publicly about his sexuality, although it was an awkwardly debated topic of conversation on CNBC last week.

I think that is pretty public.

Cook went on to talk of gay rights, saying, “Now is the time to write these basic principles of human dignity into the book of law.” He also backed an immigration overhaul, adding of proposed reforms, “Do not do them because they are economically sound — although they are — do them because they are right and just.”

The statements are remarkable for the notoriously private Cook because they strongly imply personal experience with discrimination. In 2013, Out Magazine named Cook the most powerful LGBT person in the world.

got "outed" by John Edwards, and all of the ignorant Repukes freaked out as their own ignorance could be attributed to never having ventured out of their secure little Fox News bubble.
